i have to say i agree with this post. I really never believed it was about racism. I don't think that after dealing with being gay and a drag queen Rupaul would by a hypocrite and choose her winner because she was black.
Last year Bebe really was the better lady. I would have loved to see Nina win, but the fact was she still had trouble with the English language and I honestly believed the next drag superstar should really be articulate.
Bebe is really refined no matter what color she was or is. The fact is she was the best choice for season one.
Season two I really didn't have a choice for the winner right away. I probably went with Tati, because honestly I thought her beauty was up there with last seasons contestants.
I was really turned off by all the cat fights and just general rudeness of this seasons queens. I especially did not like Raven. I thought she was crude and very unladylike in or out of drag. I thought that a lot about the ladies this year. Last year I would have been happy with anyone winning except Akisha and Rebecca, but that was a whole different ball of wax. I do have to honestly say when Tyra was called out on the Bridal show she started to change after that. She tried not to be a rude and more sensitive. She really did progress a lot and I honestly think that's why she won. Nothing to do with race at all.
